Brickwall repeat

[woodlander]

Periodically I search for the birth/baptism/parentage of my gt. gt. grandfather Robert Livesey.

According to census and age references he was born in Blackburn area of Lancashire c 1805.
He first married Jane Parkinson and his 2nd wife is my direct relative. She was Mary Sharrock/Shorrock and on their marriage certificate Robert's father is listed as also named Robert Livesey, a shoemaker.
From my notes:-

Event: first marriage to Jane Parkinson 27 Feb 1827 at Leyland
Children by Jane are Henry b1828 and Robert b1834

Marriage: 19 Feb 1827 St Andrew, Leyland, Lancashire, England
Robert Livesay - Bachelor of Leyland
Jane Parkinson - (X), Spinster of Leyland
Witness: James Carter, (X); ? ?
Married by Banns by: Thomas Rowlandson Curate
Notes: [Second witness name cut off on film]
Register: Marriages 1822 - 1831, Page 163, Entry 489

I have him with his own sons, stepchildren and daughters from 2nd marriage through all census returns where he is listed as collier's labourer;plasterer's labourer and general labourer.

Death and burial:-

Death ref: March Qtr 1889 Chorley volume 8e page 385 Robert Livesey age 83 years

Burial: 16 Jan 1889 Parish Church, Euxton, Lancashire, England

I afford part of the time when I visit LRO to searching parish records for him but no luck as yet. The nearest I have come to a wife for shoemaker Robert is a Mary on some baptismal records but can't fit the child's age. *There is also an Elizabeth Livesey widow, in Euxton on census I have tried to fit as his mother - his first daughter was christened Elizabeth - but no proof of that.
*Oops sorry - that should be Mary with daughter Elizabeth age 60 and 25 in 1841
Grateful for any help but this branch has been my stumbling block since I began around 10 years ago so no rush
Thanks for any help

The Blackburn one is one of the possibilities, thanks Dave

Hi Woody....some interesting info on the Blackburn Livesy's on the link above.

All pie in the sky but worth a read....could be a link?

About half way down is the info.
